UNITED STATES ANTHONY MAR-TING, 031 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

LATHERING MACHINE,

Application filed. June 22, 1923. Serial No. 647,152.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I Azvrieroivr Maurine, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvemmts in Lathering Machines, of whichv the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for making soap lather. the general object of the invention being to provide a simple device for agitating a mixture of soap and water to form the lather with means for ejecting the lather from the device into the hand or a container so that it can be placed upon the face, thus rendering it unnecessary to use a mug and brush and thus eliminating the danger of infection.

Another object of the invention is to provide a disc having brushes thereon with means for rotating the discs to agitate the mixture and with means for moving the disc towards the outlet end of the device to force the lather from the device.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail. reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a side view of the device.

Figure 2 is an edge view.

Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Fig ure 1.

Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a sectional view through the funnel 7 Figure 6 is a plan view of the funnel.

Figure 7 is a sectional detail view showing the ribs 16.

In these views 1 indicates a casing which is of cylindrical shape and. which is connected to a base 2 which is made in the form of a clamp so that the device can be clamped to a table, shelf or the like. One end of the casing is open and this end is adapted to be closed by a screw cap 3 which is provided with an outlet nozzle 4 and with a bearing The top of the casing is provided with a filling funnel 7. This funnel is rotatably mounted on an extension at the top and it is provided with half a closure 7 which cooperates with a half closure 7 on the extension to open and close the funnel to the casing. Thus by rotataing the funnel the soap and water can be poured into the casing and then by giving it a half turn it will be caused to prevent the material splashing from the casing. A shaft 8 has one end engaging the bearing 5 and its other end passes through a bearing 9 carried by the closed end of the cylinder or case and the projecting end of this shaft is bent to form a crank on which is placed a handle 10 so that the shaft can be rotated. The bearing 5 is made of considerable length so that the shaft 8 can be moved longitudinally in the case as well as rotated. This shaft has connected therewith a disc- 11 and a spring 12 on the shaft has one end engaging the hub of the disc and its other end a part of the cover 3. the spring tending to hold the shaft in its outer position with the disc adjacent the closed end of the casing. This disc acts as a piston when pushed inwardly to force the lather through the discharge nozzle 4. The disc carries a pair of brushes 14 which are connected to the disc by bolts which are carried by the caps 15 of the brushes. The cover is provided with the ribs 16 upon its inner face which are engaged by the brushes when the disc is rotated so that the soap and water are thoroughly mixedto form lather. The mixture of soap and water is introduced into the casing through the funnel 7 and then the handle is rotated to cause the brushes and the ribs to agitate the mixture to form lather. Then when a quantity of lather is desired it is simply necessary to press the handle inwardly to cause the disc to force some of the lather through the discharge opening 4. It will be seen that the device is sanitary and eliminates the danger of infection as the brushes do not come in contact with any part of a person and the unsanitary mugs are not used.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A. device of the class described comprising a casing having an inlet opening and a discharge nozzle, a shaft rotatably mounted in the casing, a handle for rotating the shaft. agitating means on the shaft and means permitting the shaft to be pushed inwardly to cause the agitating means to force some of the contents of the casing; out of the discharge nozzle.

2. A device of the class described comprising a casing. a shaft rotatably mounted therein means for permitting; the shaft to he moved longitudinally, a disc on the shaft,

spring means for holding the shaft in its outer position, brushes carried by the disc, a filling funnel on the casing, a discharge nozzle connected with the casino: andv a handle connected with the shaft.

3. A device of the class described comprising a casing, a shaftrotatahly mounted therein, means for permitting the shaft to be moved longitudinally. a disc on the shaft. spring means for holding the shaft in its outer position, brushes carried by the disc. a filling funnel on the casing. a discharge nozzle connected With the casing. e handle connected with the shaft and means for clamping; the casing to a support.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

ANTHONY It IARTINO.
